Hello Guys!
Wondering if you would like to share your experience about control surfaces in Sonar. It seems to be hard to have something working smoothly without bugs.
Are you using one from witch you get satisfied?
Thanks a lot for your posts!

I have my own way of using ACT, as described here. It works with just about anything that's Mackie compatible if you use the basic functions (fader, pan, record enable, solo, mute, etc.). It only gets a bit more challenging if you want to control other elements.

I have a Behringer BCF2000, that works well for what I use it for (mainly the faders and clients are wowed by the motorized faders).  I have a Frontier Tranzport, a wireless controller, but the company no longer makes these.
 
I also have a Korg Nanokontrol that works, but I had to set it as an ACT and program all the functions.

My Korg NanoKontrol2 now works great using the AzSlow surface plugin. See the related thread below.

Still using my trusty old Tascam US2400.

I have a Presonus Faderport - which frankly is terrible! Give TouchDAW a try if you have an android tablet - a budget solution that works really well for me:) There is a great setup guide for Sonar on Youtube.
 
Awaiting the release of the Behringer X-Touch. It looks very promising.

My AlphaTrack works well with Platinum, after I found a different USB port to use.(Thanks to Robert E. Bone)
It even coexists with my BCF2000.
Life is good!
